Crema's Take
“Tucked into the Lower East Side, this intimate modern spot excels at creating a serene escape with its clean, welcoming design and genuinely warm service—reviewers consistently praise the soothing ambiance and the friendly staff. While opinions on the coffee itself are mixed, the shop distinguishes itself through thoughtful touches like bulletproof coffee options and quality pastries, making it an ideal neighborhood gathering place whether you're nursing a perfectly-pulled macchiato or settling in with your laptop for the afternoon.”

I ordered a macchiato, which was perfect! Just what I needed for a boost in my day. The atmosphere had a very soothing and clean ambiance and the service was very good! There are a variety of different flavors that you can add on the side as well.
Kodawari Coffee is a small cozy modern coffee shop on the Lower East Side. the layout is pretty simple and welcoming to the eyes. tables and seats along the side of Kodawari. the interior gets a good amount of light and is superclean. it’s very much a neighborhood shop and has that fun chill vibe. recently picked up an iced latte here. it was tasted fine/good. the coffee was smooth and had a subtle flavor. the drink was nicely balanced between the coffee, milk, and ice. Iced latte, $4.50 + tax + tip service is quick and efficient
My pourover tasted like gas station coffee, but I love the ambiance. Cute little place. Server didn't seem interested in talking about the beans and seemed pretty eager to get back to talking to her friend. No one asked how I liked my cup. Disappointing, but also too cute to hate. Maybe try the espresso drinks.
Cute little coffee shop with a nice view of the neighborhood. One of the only places in the area that serves bulletproof coffee. The women that work here are super lovely :)
Good coffee, great pastries, fancy ice in cold brew
